  • Margus Tsahkna
    Margus Tsahkna “This is a hybrid attack. If we look at the very different spheres of life in which Russia interferes in our lives on our territory. Whether it is deliberate attacks through the special services on our public assets, on our monuments. Whether it is cyberattacks, or whether it is completely deliberate action in terms of jamming the GPS signal. Russia knows very well that the interference they are causing is very dangerous for our air traffic and, specifically, is also in breach of international conventions to which Russia is a party. So, this is a deliberate action that is disrupting our lives, putting people's lives at risk.” 19 hours ago
  • Osama Hamdan
    Osama Hamdan “It's clear from the Israeli paper that they are still insisting on two major issues. They don't want a complete ceasefire and they are not talking, in a serious way, about the withdrawal from Gaza. In fact, they are still talking about their presence … which means that they will keep continuing [occupying] Gaza. We have serious questions for the mediators. If there [are] positive answers, I think we can move forward. Stopping the attacks against Palestinians is not generous [Blinken claimed that the Israeli proposal was an 'extraordinarily generous' offer]. The attack itself is a crime, so when you stop a crime, you can't claim that it's a generous action from the Israeli side.” 19 hours ago
  • Tim Wu
    Tim Wu “ByteDance, for its part, maintains that it is not actually subject to control by the Chinese government. The weight of the evidence suggests otherwise: The Chinese state owns a “golden share” in the company, the firm is based in China, and studies suggest that the government shapes TikTok content in accordance with party preferences. ByteDance has said it has no plans to sell TikTok; but that might merely be a means of driving up the price. What the company now has is a golden opportunity to prove its independence for once and for all: by selling TikTok and taking the money.” 22 hours ago
  • Jens Stoltenberg
    Jens Stoltenberg “For months the U.S. was unable to agree a package and European allies have been unable to deliver ammunition at the scale we promised. Ukraine has been outgunned for months and forced to ration its ammunition.... More support is on the way.” 22 hours ago
  • Ting-yu Wang
    Ting-yu Wang “A visit to China by a group of 17 Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) lawmakers is doing nothing regarding China's continuing military intimidation against Taiwan. The KMT members have become tools for Beijing's united front propaganda campaign. Beijing is manipulating Taiwan's parliament by using democracy to kill democracy. It is regretful that the 17 KMT lawmakers now in China are afraid to speak up for Taiwan, as we still face constant military threats from China and intimidatory gray zone tactics. We cannot see how the KMT's 'trip to promote peace and friendship' has achieved anything. Instead they are acting like sycophants by pandering to Chinese officials.” 22 hours ago
  • Volodymyr Zelenskiy
    Volodymyr Zelenskiy “Timely support for our army. Today I don't see anything positive on this point yet. There are supplies, they have slowly begun, but this process needs to be sped up. Promptness in supply literally means a stabilization of the front line.... Together we must disrupt the Russian offensive.” 22 hours ago
  • Natasa Pirc Musar
    Natasa Pirc Musar “I am supporting him [Borut Pahor]. Pahor would be a good candidate. His political experience of 17 years in the highest positions in my republic shows he is capable of holding such a position. Slovenia is an ideal candidate for that [role, EU special envoy for Kosovo-Serbia dialogue], knowing the region, we know the mentality, the culture, because of the roots from the past and I can assure you that Slovenia never has a hidden agenda. That is our added value.” 23 hours ago

North Korea launching newly-developed hypersonic missile

Page with all the IPSEs stored in the archive related to the Context North Korea launching newly-developed hypersonic missile.
The IPSEs are presented in chronological order based on when the IPSEs have been pronounced.

“North Korea claims it developed a hypersonic missile, but it appears to be an HGV [hypersonic glide vehicle] launched from a ballistic missile, not a hypersonic cruise missile (HCM). Given the North dropped a hint that it will develop hypersonic glide technology in January, it seems that the warhead can fly at hypersonic speed. Also, North Korea said the missile was named the Hwasong-8, and the Hwasong series has historically been ballistic missiles powered by a liquid-fuel engine.”

“In the first test-launch, national defense scientists [of the Pyongyang's Academy of Defense Science] confirmed the navigational control and stability of the missile in the active section and also its technical specifications including the guiding maneuverability and the gliding flight characteristics of the detached hypersonic gliding warhead. The academy also ascertained the stability of the engine as well as of the missile fuel ampoule [sealed liquid fuel tank] that has been introduced for the first time.”

“Because of their speed and varied trajectories, hypersonic missiles are hard to detect, track and defend against. Advancements in fueling are intended to allow Pyongyang to fire the missiles quickly, making them more difficult for other countries to preemptively target and destroy before launch. It is unlikely that North Korea has reliably developed all the technologies its propaganda claims. However, if Pyongyang manages to fit a nuclear warhead on even a rudimentary hypersonic, it would be a dangerous weapon because it wouldn't have to be extremely accurate to threaten the nearby metropolis of Seoul.”
